2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Packers entered the draft with an opening at the starting safety spot alongside marquee addition Xavier McKinney, and they filled it with Bullard, who like McKinney is an SEC defensive back that can handle man coverage. The rookie made a fair share of plays for Georgia the last couple years, and he's going to get plenty of opportunities to do the same in his first season as a professional. Read Past Outlooks
Seeing plenty of first-team reps
Bullard has opened recent practices at training camp with the first-team defense, Peter Bukowski of The Leap reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Matt LaFleur said recently that the Packers would deploy a rotation at safety next to locked-in starter Xavier McKinney, but that hasn't prevented Bullard from retaining a strong grip on first-team reps. LaFleur's comments about a safety rotation could have less to do with Bullard's ability to contribute as an immediate starter and more to do with his versatility to switch between safety and man-coverage, or even his potential to take reps in the slot. To kick off training camp, Bullard was considered in the "pole position" to earn a starting safety role alongside McKinney, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, and his recent performance at practice seems to further support that notion.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets taste of nickel corner role
Bullard played primarily strong safety in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns but also got an opportunity as the nickel cornerback, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Bullard and fellow rookie Evan Williams are vying for the starting strong safety role, but Bullard may have another path to playing time in nickel packages. If the Packers want both Bullard and Williams on the field at the same time, the former could slide to the nickel cornerback role. Such a formation could be useful when Green Bay is trying to cover three-receiver sets but still stay stout against the run, as Bullard is probably a better tackler than return specialist Keisean Nixon, whom Green Bay utilized as the nickel cornerback last season after injuries decimated the team's cornerback depth.
